Eddie Izzard? :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Have you not seen Death Star Canteen?

For me Eddie Izzard is one of the funniest blokes I have ever seen. Seen him live 3 times now.

As for unfunniest .....

Some Canadian/Yank bird who is always on 8 out of 10 Cats, Buzzcocks and the like.

Mainly just Harry Hill and every female comic.

Just do not get the appeal of Harry Hill at all. Just seems to pull faces and dress up silly to try and gain laughs.

Miranda whatsherface, because she's painfully unfunny

Sandi 'Clive Anderson in a wig' Toksvig, purely because of her tone of voice

Peter 'I think saying ordinary sentences in a northern accent is comedy' Kay

Peter Kay was really funny for 5 minutes.
I think you've made this up. Are you telling me he took a five minute break from saying "Garlic bread?" and "Eeh, do you remember (insert name of something that was popular in the 80s)? What were that/they all about?"?

No, I simply don't believe you. It's literally not possible that Peter Kay has ever done, said or produced anything funny in his entire life.

When he did his first ever stand-up I watched it on TV and for me he was funny.

After that though there was just repetition and a lack of new material. He is like a one joke comedian and once you have heard the joke a couple of times you don't want to hear it again.

Yep, agree with all these.

Can I say Davina fucking McCall? There are two permanent marks on my tv screen because of her.

Just realised, we are talking about entertainers too aren't we.

Up to the podium steps .... Vernon Kay. :(

I put forward Phoenix Nights as evidence against the prosecution.

Pheonix nights was genius. Max and Paddy not too shabby either.

Can't stand is a bit strong for any of these who cause you no real pain - try turning over!

Wow, some baffling choices IMO,
My List:

Miranda Hart
Andi Osho
Shappi Khorsandi
Jo Brand
Zoe Lyons
Mel Giedroyc & Sue Perkins (if they count)

I see a trend appearing!

There are hardly any real comedians in the UK.

They that call themselves comedians are a disgrace for the most part and can't understand how they have an audience?

For me comedy must be funny! How about that for a concept?

It does not need a 4 letter word to make it funny either. I cringe when so called comedy is laughed at by an audience because the end line response is 'Fuck'. How is that funny when out of context?

Some of my favourite comedians based on their act on stage in the UK must be Lee Evans, Eddie Izzard, Rhod Gilbert and there are a couple more at best.
Women simply don't make good comedians do they?

Ken Dodd actually impressed me. Relentless gags, captive audience in as much as anyone who leaves before 11:30pm is deemed to be bunking off, clean and subtle inuendo.

By comparison, Paul Merton......good on TV. Terrible live.

Without wanting to be sexist I don't find any women comedians funny. All their jokes seem to be about men, sex and dieting. The worst by far are Miranda and Sarah Millican.

(Although I do find vicar of dibley funny with Dawn French)

Who's that gay dancer with the crew cut have to turn tv over if ever he's on. And that Rylan from X factor. I wouldn't get tired of punching either of them.

You don't like the idea of nunu's then? I can't stand them.
The little one in Miranda also gets on my nerves. People who haven't made it in acting.

The welsh blonde in Gavin and Stacey......She can't act. She's just being herself. Tat.
